[RESOLVED] Mod_Rewrite

[Sayian]

Ive spent hours reading and searching google for help ..

I have a decent understanding .. although im having a problem

Im trying to get www.mysite.com/pagelog.php

to be displayed if i type

www.mysite.com/pagelog

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/pagelog/ /pagelog.php [L]

for some reason that isnt working ... just wondered if anyone could help me out.

Thanks.

Try this:
RewriteRule ^pagelog(/)?$ pagelog.php [L]

Thanks alot of the help, that worked.

Im going to look into why my code didnt work, and your's did .. Im curious now.

I spoke too soon

Now all my other links such as

/notes.php

if i click a link that goes to /notes.php

it's being re-directed to /pagelog/notes.php

any advice on this?

It sounds weird to me. Is the rule located at a proper .htaccess, at a proper folder?
It should be like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^pagelog(/)?$ pagelog.php [L]

I tried it and it worked as it is supposed to.

Just for an inspiration: you may consider using a more general rule, something like:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-]*)(/)?$ $1.php [QSA,L]

I hope it helped.
